Our School

At Edgemont School we strive to meet the needs of each child through collaborative work between students, families, staff and community. We will seek opportunities to ensure that you can be actively involved in your child’s learning and that communication between each child, the school and the parent is clear and supportive.

We are committed to taking up the Alberta Program of Studies in a manner that makes learning meaningful and will focus on engaging students in their own learning so that they clearly recognize their own starting points, their progress and the strategies they are using which make a difference.

Parent involvement in the school is critical. Volunteering in the classroom, supporting special events, joining the School Council and talking with your children at the end of each day about their learning are just a few of the many ways that parents can support the school community. We look forward to working with you.

School Mission 

Each student, in keeping with his or her individual abilities and gifts, will complete high school with a foundation of learning necessary to thrive in life, work and continued learning.

​​Our School's Commitment to Truth and Reconciliation

We are committed to acknowledging and supporting the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission 94 Calls to Action specific to education. Our school, along with all CBE schools, made a TRC Commitment to Action. On June 21, we renewed our commitment, which can be found under Resources.​​

Acknowledging the Land

We would like to acknowledg​​e the traditional territories and oral practices of the Blackfoot Nations, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani and the Kainai. We also acknowledge the Tsuut’ina and Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.​

​​​School Development Plan

​Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.​​​

​​​​School Improvement Results Report

Our school also prepares a results plan, which looks at our previous school year. It shows our students’ achievement and progress in meeting the goals and outcomes as set out by the CBE and Alberta Education, outlines some of the highlights of our school development plan and gives an overview of our school. You can look on the CBE website for system-wide results​.
